Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).

The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.

Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

Just wish wed gotten to see the duel between him and kid Boba as well, really would have tied it all together. Also wish he would have had a bigger hat ngl...

Fun fact: Cad banes species had existed in the original drawings for Star Wars, and can be seen in the background of the cantina scene

[aroccoification]

Absolute waste of cad bane... Why bring him in just to give him a few lines and kill him immediately? He didn't even get a cool fight

[ratmessiah]

Wish they put this much effort into actually writing a good show

[michaelutt]

I do think the head was a lil small for a duros but they did pretty good with the makeup besides that.

[jakattack]

Best adaptation of a cartoon character brought to live action and he was on for like 5 minutes to get killed

[skylineg]

Wow! We really got more of his backstory and screen time in this short than the whole live series.

[mattyb]

My god it was amazing to see him in live action tho

[rangerrick]

They did verry well on that. Its hard to imagine a big title using practical effects. And using them well at that

[nayeebG]

Such a cool looking character brought to life.

[Salamander]

Regardless of the quality of these shows, this is seriously impressive! Cad looks amazing!!!

[steveglover]

Not sure you did pull it off, but I was glad to see him.

[listo]

Cad Bane is my absolute favorite character in Star Wars

[JedHead]

I saw the costume and the intricate face components up close at The Mandalorian Experience at Star Wars Celebration.

[JCar.]

I’m friends with the actor who played Cad Bane. Really a nice guy. Wish he’d had more time in the series.

[cornelionsqween]

it was weird how much of a light blue they went with for the makeup. cad's a deep blue tone in the rest of star wars.

[JedHead]

Bane’s voice reminded me of an electronic Peter Lorre

[angellara]

How come the prosthetics for cad banes species looked better 47 years ago then it does today

[WhoDatNaton]

I am impressed! I thought most of it was CGI. Well done

[bantehayes]

Lee van Cleef! Of course. That really is like him lol I can't believe I never saw it before.
